He failed to see that eventually the U.S. would have to face Hitler’s war machine and the axis powers were gaining strength with each passing day. They gained labor and resources as they conquered new territory. If invaded, Americans might face millions of troops, planes, and tanks make in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. It made sense to help England, Russia, and other allies.

Although George Wallace incorporated similar populist tactics of being opinionated and outspoken, Wallace was not a Huey Long. Wallace was his own entity, engaging in segregation politics that hindered the progression of the civil rights movement, playing off southern sectionalism, and influencing racial anguish towards African Americans. On the other hand, the infamous Huey Long challenged economic disparities in Congress, pushed for African American rights, and fought back against elites. Huey Long and George Wallace had commonalities; they both were a threat to the current federal establishment because they were outsiders.…
